NoFrills CPU and Arc S

Hi,
I am currently using an Arc S with DoomKernel 18 (1.6ghz) + Arconium 7.0 on .62.
I've used NoFrills CPU to set max at 1.6ghz and min at 0.3ghz but when I used the app CPU Spy I see the following: 1ghz 15%, 249mhz 47%, Deep Sleep 37%.
How come my arc s is never running at 1.6ghz? Is this because it never saw the need to and could perform at 1ghz or is it because it is clocked in some way?

Usually it depends on the governor you are using.
After you set the processor speed, try to reset the timer in the CPU Spy, which might help.

Is there a governor you recommend? I am currently using SmartsassV2 but it was initially set on interactive I think

Try InteractiveX ?

Smartassv2 works for me, just don't forget to tick the "set on boot" tickbox

[POLL][ARC/ ARC S] Which governor do you use?

This is just to help out those who are wondering what the majority of other xda members are using.
SmartassV2
Ondemand
conservative
Are so far peoples favorite governors

smartassV2 on Doomkernel for GB, works beautifully with sio scheduler, a great combination for our Arcs

Since ICS, Sony has implemented Interactive in stock kernel, so I use that and it seems to be helping a lot overally.

doomkernel + smartassV2 + noop for stock GB rom.
It's the best. no doubt about that.

No option for stock?
I mean surely that would be the most common answer, surely?

DooMKernel v4 ICS, SmartAssV2, SIO. Works like a charm.

Normally interactiveX, but on ICS it doesn't go over 1017MHz
Using ondemand atm untill that bug is fixed

surely there are stock governors listed, surely you're not looking hard enough

Lagfree & sio on my arc, undervolted to 806MHz and works smoothly like a charm with arconium ics 1.1 .

I noticed that as well when I used CPU Spy so now I just OC with smartassv2 !

Atm I'm using brazilianwax, very smooth and fast andit doesn't stay at one of the highest frequencies like lagfree.
But lagfree is also nice
EDIT:
Using lagfree now.
I have the smallest lags with that governor. Well, performance has even less but that can't be a daily driver

ondemand here.

Can someone please explain the differences between the i/o choices. What do they do.
What settings are best for keeping good battery life and performance.
I'm on I'm on night kernel with the option to oc to 1.8ghz

Thanks for that. I'll rephrase, which combination of governor and io schedular give best performance and battery life?

InteractiveX and sio

What are your cpu settings?

Currently im running aokp rom on at&t S4 with min set to 189 max set to 1890 governor: intellidemand. What do you guys set yours to?

I run the same thing. Pretty good bat life and performance.

4.3 reduced antutu score or its just me..

K guys.. I am not sure if its 4.3 or something else.. Can someone confirm.. I used to get 18000+ on my 4.2 n4 and over 24000 with faux overclocking kernels for 4.2
Now i am getting 14000 - 16000.. With 4.3..

it's 4.3 and new update of antutu....
you can use custom rom/kernel or some tweaks so you'll get over 23k

Just you...

Will try the cm 10.2 but its still nighty.. And regarding kernels I was always under the impression that faux and franco gives the best performance..

different kernel works and reacts differently on different devices and different roms. test it out to find YOUR perfect fit.

Try the S4 dalvik patch that's floating around here. Boosted my score to 20k+ on PA 3.99 with stock PA kernel at 1512/1512.
Using this combo as my daily driver since a week and no problems so far.

What kind of numbers did you get before the mod?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Around 16-17k if I remember correctly. Also don't forget that heat throttling is pretty aggressive on the N4. So make sure your device has cooled down before the next run.
Pro tip: put your N4 onto a cold ceran stove when benchmarking. They're made to conduct heat efficiently and will keep your device cool

Well I wouldn't give those numbers too much credit...
they represent more the settings that you enter, than device performance.
I for instance use the latest franco Kernel. With the settings I use every day (interactive governor, default clocks), I get arount 15-18k in antutu. But the device feels as snappy as hell in normal usage and gaming.
If I switch to performance governor, ramping the minimal and maximal cpu clock up to 1512MHZ while raising the cpu throttling from 65 to 90° I reach antutu scores in the range of 20-22k.
But I obviously would never ever use these settings every day.
That beeing said, these numbers do not really represent how the devices behaves in every day usage, which is much more important to me than any number, a benchmark puts out.

I am not trying to reach higher antatu numbers.. what I was looking for is to test out which kernel and what kernel settings gives me max power...

I have a couple of questions:
It's your phone still working like it should?
Do you really care about the scores you get to be able to enjoy your N4?
Do you think the scores of benchmark really say everything about your phone?
If you compare a S4 or M7 with a N4, and in one test (by chance) you get the same scores, do you think your N4 has the same power as a S4 or M7?
Stop worrying about benchmark scores, I used to be like that bench-marking all the time, at the end I just got tired of it!!!
Now I just enjoy my phone the way it is.
Good luck!!!

CM-10.2 and CM kernel got 20728

(updated antutu version 18484).

Benchmarks are useless, its how the device feels when using it what matters.

I can reduce cpu voltage on all frequencies by 40 mV but gpu lags at anything above 450 mhz(performance governor), also I'm on doomkernel and I can't properly underclock for some reason...

If you do that all your seffings will go back to default like governors. There should be the option to set the same parameters on boot to keep all like you have right now. I don't know if on rooted Z1 there is this settings but should be because I remember I did all of this with android on different devices.

1.7 Ghz Max
300 Mhz Min

(I see a lot of people are using row though, so may need to test it and see if I notice a difference - that and undervolting..)
Current discharge rate is at 3.2% per hour and that's including wifi never being off, some gaming, instant messaging conversations and emails
